今天Lucky的办公室出现了一个生面孔DDKevinHughes，此人代表美国一家运动产品公司，专程来中国寻找加工。接洽的加工产品是运动型“磁质石膏护垫”，受伤的运动员包上这种产品上场比赛，即可保护受伤部位，且不妨碍活动。
现在，我们就来看看两人的会面情况：
L:Wefoundyourproposalquiteinteresting,Mr.Hughes.We’dliketoweightheprosandcons（衡量得失）withyou.
K:Mr.Lucky,we’velookedalloverAsiaforamanufacturer;yourcompanyisoneofthemostsuitable.

K:No,wedon’t,Mr.Lucky.ThisisjustOEM.(加工制造）
L:Isee.Then,themostimportantthingisthesizeofyourorders.We’llhavetoinvestagreatdealofmoneyinthenewproductionprocess.
K:Ifyoucanguaranteecontinuingquality,wecansignacommitmentfor75,000piecesayear,forfiveyears.

K:I’llcheckthenumberlater,butwhatdoyoupropose?L:Here’showyoucandemonstratecommitmenttothisdeal.Makeittenyears,increasetheunitprice,andprovidetechnologytransfer.(技术转让）
Lucky在前面的谈判最后提出签约十年的要求，Kevin会不会答应呢？如果答案是否决的话，Lucky又有何打算？他一心为公司的利益打算，极力争取技术转移的协定，而对方会甘心出让此项比金钱更珍贵的资产吗？
请看以下分解：
K:Wecan’tsignanycommitmentfortenyears.Butifyourproductionqualityisgoodafterthefirstyear,wecouldextendthecontractandincreaseouryearlypurchase.
L:Thatsoundsreasonable.Butcouldyoushedsomelighton（透露）thesizeofyourorders?

L:Excuseme,Mr.Hughes,butitseemstomewe’regivinguptoomuchinthiscase.We’dbegivingupthefive-yearguaranteeforincreasedyearlysales.

L:We’dbemakinghugecapitaloutlay（资本支出）fortheproductionprocess,sowe’dliketosetupatechnologytransferagreement,tohelpusgetofftheground（取得初步进步）.
行至此处，谈判都还算是在和谐的气氛下进行，双方各自寻求获利的方案。但针对技术转移这一项，Lucky所提的保证和要求能否消弭Kevin心中的顾虑，而今此谈判是否终露曙光呢？
以下对话即为您揭晓答案：
